BACKSTREETS is a semi-regular night of music at the windmill with a simple ethos of good-time, Friday night music. Featuring some of the best in new music and drunken DJs spinning classic tunes.

THE PRISCILLAS
London's favourite bubblegum rock, milkshake punk and roll queens with a reputation as one of the capital's best live acts, come to Backstreets to soundtrack their songs where worries are saved for the real world and every day is a weekend. Mixing the best of 50's rock, 60s pop, 70s punk and glam, this band with celebrity fans a plenty (The Mighty Boosh, Franz Ferdinand, Little Steven and Shane McGowan), and an impressive list of acts they've shared the stage with (Art Brut, the Cramps, The Damned) won't fail to win you over.
'They're the Cramps, The Shangri-Las and the New York Dolls all rolled into one' - Kerrang!
'A purring, shrieking, shimmying torment of riff-fuelled fun... Demands to be heard' - Metro

THE WINTER OLYMPICS
Dance-punk with attitude inspired by the DIY dignity of Dischord, the daft funk of DFA and the non-ironic, no-nonsense stadium-slaying standards of Def Leppard, from one of London's best-kept live secrets, the Winter Olympics.
'Tip for the Top! The Winter Olympics will make you want to jump up and down' - The People.
'Reminiscent of a beachside rave' - Word Magazine

DEADBEAT DESCENDANT
Brighton's hotly tipped punk rock masters bring their high-tempo, high energy set to London. These are stomping, clattering but above all danceable tunes with lyrics and killer riffs that will stick in your head all the way home.
'Comparisons with The Fall and Iggy Pop are hard to avoid, but the Deadbeats aren't mimics and have come tonight to entertain the crowd'. - Kerrang!
